While Guishan and Yangshan were picking tea, Guishan said, "All day long I have only heard your voice and not seen your form." Yangshan shook the tea tree. Guishan said, "You have only attained its function; you have not attained its substance." Yangshan said, "I am just thus; what about the Venerable Sir?" Guishan remained silent for a good while. Yangshan said, "The Venerable Sir has only attained its substance; he has not attained its function." Guishan said, "I let you off thirty blows with the staff."
